This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

London stole our blue, slapped it on their flag, and called it unity. We’re taking it back — Scotland’s colours belong to Scotland. #ScottishIndependence

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Spent part of the day walking around the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, Caldwell Lily Pool and Montrose Bird Sanctuary. The area around the nature museum has STUNNING native/pollinator gardens. Absolutely gorgeous. And the Montrose Bird Sanctuary offered beautiful views of the lake and city.

Nigel Farage says he wants to slash benefits if Reform comes to power. But who actually relies on benefits in the UK? The truth may surprise you:

The vast majority of benefit spending goes to pensioners and people in work.

Why would anyone vote for Reform when Farage wants to slash benefits?

Firm has a history of delivering dud audits. Rewards for failure.

In common with other LLPs, the firm avoids paying employer national insurance on partners' profit share.

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

This month the Scottish Parliament backed Green calls for boycotts, divestment and sanctions against Israel and companies complicit in the genocide and occupation.

Now it's time to put those words into action at all levels of government.

The National. Edinburgh becomes first city in Scotland to boycott Israel. Councillors voted in favour of a Green motion which moves the capital closer to implementing Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel.
